Raman Imaging in Pharmaceutical Research – A Brief Introduction to the Technique and Its Applications
Author(s)Oxford Instruments WITec
Modular Raman imaging microscopes provide a toolset for configuring experiments that can integrate complementary methods and evolve along with individual requirements. Following an introduction to the theoretical background, Dr. Ievgeniia Iermak will describe several of its variations including 3D Raman imaging and optical profilometry-guided measurements. Examples will be provided to demonstrate Raman imaging’s chemical sensitivity, high resolution, ease of use, and versatility for pharmaceutical research.
